To celebrate Singapore Sling’s 100th anniversary in 2015, Peter F. Heering invited bartenders all over the world to create exciting versions of the legendary Singapore Sling while adding a charity twist – Here’s to the Tiger – to the mix. The objective was to raise money for charitable organization Panthera in order to save the world’s tigers. The 2015 Sling Award consists of two parts. In the first stage of the competition, the participating bars were to shake up their best Sling menus. We have now chosen the 20 best Sling menus from over 2 000 entries; these top 20 candidates will represent their countries in the global Sling Award 2015 and be judged by an international expert jury consisting of legends of the cocktail world.

We are proud to announce the names behind the 20 best Sling menus. Here’s to you!

Our international expert jury will now choose the 10 best Sling menus to be presented at the final in NYC the 22nd of September at Julie Reiner and Ivy Mix’s hot new Brooklyn bar Leyenda. The five bartenders who have concocted the best Sling menus will join us to Singapore in October, where we’ll meet up with Panthera’s tiger team and meet the tigers eye to eye. The fabulous five will also have their Sling menus immortalized in the legendary Difford’s Guide. In the second stage of the competition, a charity activation called “Here’s to the Tiger”, bars all over the world were invited to serve Singapore Slings and donate a fixed amount per Sling sold to Panthera. The two bars that raised the largest sum for Panthera will each get to send two members of staff to Singapore in October. The four winners will meet members of Panthera’s tiger team and will also get the chance to meet the tigers eye to eye.
